Is American Swimmer Ryan Lochte Hooking Up With Sexy Australian Swimmer Blair Evans? (Gallery)

American swimmer Ryan Lochte is a very accomplished Olympian. At the 2004 Summer Games in Athens, he took home a gold (4x100m freestyle) and a silver, and at the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing he took home two more golds (4x200m freestyle and 200m backstroke), plus a pair of bronzes.

However, Lochte will probably be even more successful this summer in London because, as he explains, he didn’t make the same mistake this time around that he made in 2008.

What was that mistake? Having a girlfriend, apparently.

“My last Olympics, I had a girlfriend,” Lochte explains. ” Big mistake. Now I’m single, so London should be really good.”

And if reports are accurate, Lochte hasn’t wasted any time hooking up at the Athletes’ Village. People have spotted the 27-year-old having some pretty friendly conversations with 21-year-old Australian swimmer and Olympic rookie Blair Evans. Yesterday at the Olympic Aqautic Center in London, the two greeted each other in the pool and shared what some people believe was a subtle underwater touch, then headed back to the Athletes’ Village together on the same shuttle.

Ooooooooooooo! Ryan likes Blair!
